The Camera

DJI Phantom Vision + camera

The Phantom 2 Quadcopter with Zenmuse is adapted for use with the GoPro Hero 3 (the GoPro Hero 4 is the same size and works just as well), how does that camera compare to the integrated camera in the DJI Phantom 2 version?

The Phantom 2 with integrated camera has a 1080p 30/60i video camera that enables you to get FPV with Wi-Fi to your mobile device. The FPV will show you on screen real-time flight parameters. The video is in full HD and you get a 4GB micro SD card.

The photos are taken in 14 MP.

There is an adapter to be able to use different filters on the camera lens and you will get a 300 m Wi-Fi connection. There is also an app to share and store your photos and videos on-line.

The GoPro Hero 3+ shoots in 1080p60 video and the photos are 10 mega-pixels. Wi-Fi is built into the camera, so that it can be controlled remotely, and you can also share and store the photos and videos on Youtube and Facebook. The GoPro 3 + is waterproof to 131’ (40m).

The photos are taken in 10 MP.

The Gimbal

They both come with a 3-axis gimbal, which helps you get great stability and very smooth video.

Flexibility

The big advantage of the GoPro is its flexibility. Not only can you use it on your drone, but you can use it in your car, on your helmet, when you are hiking, when you dive (waterproof to 40 m) and even on your dog!

Conclusion

If you want to use your camera for more than just flying with your quad, your best choice is to get the DJI Phantom 2 Quadcopter with Zenmuse for GoPro.

Comments

How do they perform when not connected to wifi? Can they transmit over radio frequencies? Do they have a way to connect different transmitters to them so you can transmit over different frequencies like 5.8 GHz or 2.4 GHz?
